“You guys?
What right do you have to stop me from going in?”
Cedrick got angry. “In this lawful society, do you think you can just do whatever you want?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Maynard, but so far, we haven’t done anything. Preventing you from going in and disturbing the patient is the wish of the patient’s family.”
“Family?
Is it that bastard?
On what grounds?
What right does he have?”
Cedrick got annoyed just thinking about the man who was always by Lucille’s side, blocking him at every turn.
“Mr. Maynard, please watch your words. We haven’t done anything disrespectful so far. You, on the other hand, are using foul language. Being disrespectful has its price, Mr. Maynard.”
The bodyguards were polite, but the bulging muscles on their arms were ready for action.
“What?
Are you planning to get physical?
This is a society of law!”
Cedrick watched as their circle around him tightened, their arm muscles bulging more and more. It wasn’t that he was scared; he just couldn’t believe that these guys could do whatever they wanted in broad daylight.
But the lead bodyguard said, “No, sir. We are civilized and polite. We’re very reasonable. We would never hit someone in broad daylight.”
We are polite and civilized bodyguards. If we’re going to beat someone up, we’d put a sack over their head and do it in the dark.

The human wall, with an average height of 6’3“, which Robert had told to be low–key but couldn’t possibly be, proved with their very presence that Cedrick couldn’t break through no matter how he tried.
He wasn’t getting on this elevator.
“Mr. Maynard, you should just give up. It’s impossible.”
Cedrick was furious, but the fact was, he really couldn’t break through this human wall. He couldn’t make a huge, ugly scene in the hospital’s elevator lobby.
What was even more infuriating was that these people knew who he was, but he had no idea who they were!
Fortunately, after Lucille returned, she had turned on her domestic phone card.
He called Lucille.
But Lucille didn’t pick up.
So he had to text her instead: Lucille, I’m in the first–floor elevator lobby. I brought soup for Grandma, but I can’t get up. Can you tell them to let me through?
Lucille actually felt her phone vibrate and saw the caller ID, but she didn’t want to answer.
Then, she saw the text message.
Lucille didn’t quite understand what “can’t get up” meant, but she didn’t intend to find out. She replied with a sentence: Grandma has already eaten. It’s not necessary.
Soon, another message from Cedrick arrived: Lucille, do we have to drag Grandma into our
business?
No matter what, Grandma has always been good to me. Is it wrong for me to want to be a good grandson to her?
Even regular friends visit when someone is sick in the hospital, don’t they?
Lucille read it and replied immediately: “Because we’re not even regular friends anymore. Treating you like a stranger is the greatest kindness I can offer.”
Grandma doesn’t want to see you either. Don’t come to the hospital again. As soon as she’s discharged, we’ll finalize the divorce,
With a clatter, the soup in Cedrick’s hands fell to the floor,

Of all the words, his eyes only saw “divorce.”

After a month, he thought she was just being willful and blowing off steam, but now that she was back, she still wanted a divorce…
Thinking of that detestable man who was always clinging to her, he suppressed his anger and sent a text: Is it because of him?
Lucille didn’t even know who “he” was, and she couldn’t be bothered to answer such a pointless question. Her grandmother needed to use the restroom, so she had even less time for this “trash” message. She called a caregiver, and together they helped her grandmother out of bed.
